Rain proof F1 tracks

Since I started watching F1 races with my boyfriend I always had this question and no one has yet to give me a convincing answer. Why can't the tracks be covered with roofs to make them rain proof? They can be made of glass or transparent plastic material to facilitate TV broadcasting from all angles and heights. It can help reduce accidents, allow the cars to run the fastest they can on dry surface and the races don't have to be suspended when the tracks are flooded with torrential rain. People tell me it's difficult to construct or the cost is too high. hey guys, to start with F1 is a multi-billion dollar industry and second what's so difficult engineering-wise about setting up a roof?? It's not building the Parthenon or the Pyramids. It must be something else. Can anyone here answer this?

Have you ever thought to challenge the wisdom of relying on one president as the final authority on all matters of government? Why not vote for as many different presidents responsible for different policy areas as there are cabinet members? It is more democratic, more engaging and can be more efficient if authority and decision-making is clearly delineated! What is your opinion?

Where have all Gore prezis gone and where are all the Gods?

Where are the street-wise clowns to fight the rising odds?

Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy that is

The new prezy is racing on the thunder and rising with the global heat

It's gonna take Superman to sweep me off my feet

Need no Bush no more, he's far too smart for my feet

Need no Clinton either, 2 much for the price of one, if you know what I mean

Need no Mister Olabama either, he's just a sweet-home Alabama kid

Johnie Ed has too shiny a haircut, and so does the Mitt Romney kid

Giulani has the shinny part too but no more hair to cut through

Nothing rhymes too perfect for me, so I better vote for Me
